I was pleased to get my hands on Thomas Savage’s novel, The Power of the Dog, so soon after watching the Jane Campion and Netflix adaptation of it. Also pleasing was how closely the adaptation followed the events of the novel!

Lisey’s Story Miniseries Review
Woof. Lisey’s Story, an Apple+ miniseries based off of Stephen King’s novel of the same name, was a chore for me to get through. It was only eight episodes, but it dragged on and I thought the story was a little stupid.
Read moreRagdoll Season 1 Review
As if I needed another streaming service to subscribe to, but when you offer a sweet, sweet deal, then I will! And that’s exactly what AMC+ did. Lucky for me, a subscription to AMC+ also includes access to other things like Sundance Now and Shudder, but at this particular point in time, I was interested in their original series, Ragdoll.
Read moreMid-Week Movie Review
Since the Sundance Film Festival starts today (!) I won’t have any time to watch anything else that’s out in the world right now. I’ve managed to squeeze in a film every day this week, so I figured I’d cover them now before you get the full force of Sundance thrown at you.
Read moreThe Shrink Next Door – Miniseries Review
While this is definitely much different than the horrid truths that were revealed in Peacock’s Dr. Death, Apple TV+’s The Shrink Next Door was almost as mind blowing. In this 8-part miniseries, we see how one emotionally vulnerable man was ruthlessly swindled by his psychiatrist.

Even after watching the entire Scream franchise last week, you know I had to make time for some other movies over the weekend. And yes, that did include another viewing of Scream 5. I stand by my thoughts on it in a spoiler-free capacity. Other than that, some other new films made the cut.
Read moreBook Review: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
For whatever reason, Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo took me a lifetime to read! And I’m mad at myself for it, because it was a good book! Life just got in the way, but I did finally finish this extremely popular young adult novel the other day.
Read moreYou Season 3 Review
What a wild ride You has gone on. I’ve come to terms with the fact that the show is not going to follow Caroline Kepnes’ books to the T, so I was able to enjoy this ride a little more. With that being said, I felt like this season did honor Kepnes’ latest novel a lot better than I was expecting.
Read moreWeekend Movie Review
It was a pretty average viewing this weekend, but fear not! It’s the calm before the holiday weekend storm, so I more than plan to make up for it in my next recap. Anyways, here’s a high level look at what I managed to watch this weekend.
Read moreOne of Us is Lying – Series Review
Having just read Karen McManus’ book last year, this series adaptation of One of Us is Lying came as a bit of a surprise! Really, I only knew about it roughly a month beforehand and that was only because my issue of Entertainment Weekly told me about it! But anyways, I was really interested to see how this story adapted to the screen, and luckily, it didn’t disappoint.
